MISQ33T ITIA KTY
tvaiic Lee and Willie Gray.
Two brown heads with laughing curls,
Bed lips shutting over pearls,
Bare feet white, and wet with dew,
Two eves black and two eyes blue,
Little girl and boy were they,
Katie Lee and W'illic Gray.
They were standing where a brook,
Bending like a shepherd's crook.
Flashed its silver, and thick ranks
Of green willow fringed its banks;
Hau in thought and half in play,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray.
They had cheeks like cherries red;
He was taller-'most a head;
She, with arms like wreaths of snow,
Swung a basket to and fro,
As she loitered, half in play,
Chattering to Willie Gray.
"Frctty Katie," Willie said
And there came a flash of red
Through the brownness of his cheek
"boys are strong and girls are weak,
And I'll carry, so I will.
Katie's basket up the hill."
Katie answered with a laugh,
"You shall carry only half.
And then tossing back her curls,
"Boys are weak as well as girls."
Do Von think that Katie guessed
Half thc wisdom she expressed?
Men arc only boys grown tall:
Hearts don't change much after all;
And when, long years from that day,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray
.Stood again beside the brook,
Bending like a shepherd's crook
Is it strange that Willie said
While a?ain a dash of red
Crossed thc brownness of his cheek
"I am strong and you arc weak;
Lifo is but a slippery steep,
Hung with shadows cold and deep.
"Will you trust nie, Katie, dear
Walk beside mc without fear?
May I carry, if I will,
All your burdens up the hill?"
And she answered, with a laugh,
"No; but you maj- carry half."
Close beside the little brook,
Bending like a shepherd's crook,
Washing with its silver bands,
Late and early at the sands,
ts a cottage where co-day
Katie lives with Willie Gray.
Tn a porch she sits, and lo!
Swings a basket to and fro.
Vastly different from thc one
That she swung in years agone;
This is long and deep and wide,
And has-rockers at thc side!
THE BONNET QUESTION. -The ladies
are rebelling against the winter
fashion for bonnets. The principal
of a wholesale millinery house in?
forms us that his customers never
purchased "bonnet frames" with
equal reluctance. The buggy-top
pattern requires a large amount of
material, and makes .a very small
show for it. Moreover, the show,
when it is made, is anything but
graceful. To construct a bonnet over
the gig-top frame requires three
fourths of a yard of material, with
ribbons, and luce, and dowers ad in?
finitum. The small bonnets of last
summer, that made quite as much
display, and were ten-fold more grace?
ful, required less than half a yard of
material. The consequence is that I
the fashion dictated to the ladies is
not accepted as fashions generally are,
and that a good many dames and
demoiselles are in open rebellion, and
refuse to accept the dispensation of
the'Empress Eugenie for the winter
of the year of our Lord 18G5. This
very unacceptable mode makes tho
millinery trado comparatively dull;
and many a discarded bonnet will be
revamped this winter, that, were the
fashion more acceptable, would find
its way into the rag-bag.

congratulate you that your well known

The safe you made for nie somo time
ago was in the office of the Museum, on
thc second floor, back part of thc building,
and in thc hottest of the tire.
After twenty-four hours of trial, it was
found among thc debris, and on opening
it this dav has yielded.up its contents in
very good order - books, papers, policies of
insurance, bank bills, all in condition for
immediate use, and a noble commentary
on the trustworthiness of Herring's Fire?
